Looking back at the Olympics to find the champion in us

Over the past 2 weeks, I know that many of us have invested a significant part of out lives watching the Olympics and rooting for the American atheletes. Fortunately, we have had much to cheer about and be happy for as a nation.

For me, I'm struck with the tremendous feeling that must go along with winning the gold medal. It's exhilarating. To some it leaves them nearly speechless.

It's the culmination of years of preparation. They train for it. They set goals. They plan for it. They dream about it. They want it. They desire it.

Then they do what they've prepared themselves to do, and one athlete in each sport actually demonstrates to the world that they are the best in that event at that moment.

Gold medals are not awarded for sales; however, we can still approach sales with the same dedication and enthusiasm to be the best there is. It doesn't happen overnight, and it's doesn't come lightly.

Being the best can be it's own reward. We can all be champions.

Success brings synergy

As the Beijing Olympics are drawing to a close, I think it's noteworthy of how much success the American teams have had - even those that typically don't do that well. Last night NBC was commenting ion this very story. Take for instance the men's water polo team. The coach of that team himself played for a gold medal for the US 20 years ago, but silver was the result. You have to go back over a century to 1904 for the last time the US men's water polo team won the gold medal. I'd say we're due.

The same thing is happening with many other American teams - men's and women's. It seems a little success is good for everyone.
